Bravely Default Soundtracks To Be Added to Spotify

Following Bravely Default 2's full release, the soundtracks will be made available on Spotify for fans to listen to on the go.

Not to be confused with Bravely Second: End Layer, Bravely Default 2 released last month to positive receptions from fans. The original game, on the other hand, has gone down to be known as one of the best JRPGs of all time, earning a cult following of fans from the genre, especially in Japan. The music of Bravely Default was composed by Revo, who was inspired by the music of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and the SaGa games and decided to go with a nostalgic feel for the game. Revo returned to compose Bravely Default 2's music as well.

Though Bravely Second's soundtrack was already previously made available on Spotify, fans of the music of the other Bravely Default games can listen to albums on the free music app starting on March 31.

The OST for each game is quite lengthy. Bravely Default's soundtrack consists of 46 songs while Bravely Default 2's contains 62 songs. End Layer also contains 45 songs, meaning that, altogether, the soundtrack could be great for long study sessions or atmospheric background music for Dungeons and Dragons games.

When not composing Square Enix's music, Revo is a member of the Japanese "fantasy band" Sound Horizon, whose members RIKKI and Joelle have also contributed to the Final Fantasy series' soundtracks. RIKKI is best known for performing the theme song for Final Fantasy 10 while Joelle contributed to Bravely Default's vocals and several tracks on Final Fantasy 13-2's OST.

Bravely Default 2 has finally arrived on the Switch, serving as the sequel to 2012's Bravely Default on the Nintendo Switch. For the uninitiated, the Bravely Default franchise harkens back to the classic days of JRPG, featuring turn-based battles, gorgeous visuals, and deep storytelling.

It is worth noting that Bravely Default 2 isn't dramatically different than its predecessors, which is a good thing for fans of the first game and its expansion called Bravely Second. Now, for those who have just picked up Bravely Default 2, here are some spoiler-free tips to help players make the most of their first playthrough on the continent of Excillant.

For those who are worried about getting into Bravely Default 2 without first playing Bravely Default and Bravely Second, it is worth noting that while the latest game is branded as a sequel, its story, events, characters, and locations are not related to the first two games. Given this, Bravely Default 2 allows newcomers to experience the classic gameplay of the franchise with new characters, mechanics, and a fresh story. Bravely Default 2 follows four main characters; the young sailor named Seth, Gloria the refugee princess, a traveling scholar named Elvis, and a mercenary named Adelle.

The core mechanics of Bravely Default are bravely and defaulting, which its title heavily implies. Braving grants players an advantage in combat by allowing them to attack enemies multiple times. On the other hand, defaulting is a defensive move where the player character won't make any maneuver during their turn to store an action point.

However, one important thing to note is that players cannot simply brave and default, given that they can only attack if they have 0 or at least one brave point. This means that if the player spams brave initially, they may not have enough action points to win the battle. One important thing to consider is finding the perfect balance between braving and defaulting. This could prove tricky as players progress through the game where enemies are much stronger and have varying abilities.
